a thread runs through my life and it always needs untangling

Archive for September 2nd, 2017

So I was ready to dive into the semester. The shop was back in order after last week’s electrical chaos. I have lists and plans. My larder is stocked. I am preparing myself for another round of long days and weekends lost. Then…

Can you feel everything slowing down…? Mercury will go direct on Tuesday. Meanwhile it feels like nothing can be done.

The shows I should be working on RIGHT NOW will not be cast until next week. Can’t make/buy/choose costumes without knowing who is going to wear them and what size they are. On hold.

A few of my work study kids have started work but most of them are still in a beginning of the year daze. Storage reorganization proceeding s-l-o-w-l-y. Space now in complete chaos, again, until further progress is made.

I lost my cell phone on Tuesday. Not forever, found on Wednesday.

But the same day I came home to this:

My shower door imploded. Probably from the heat. After months of unseasonable cool rainy weather, Mother Nature said “Surprise! Just fooling, it’s August after all.” My bathroom is easily 120+ degrees mid day if the outside is over 85.

Gee it’s nice to be able to take a shower in hot weather.

The landlord has cleaned up the glass and replaced the doors with a curtain rod and I’ll be able to take that shower as soon as I put up a curtain. Only it’s 95 outside already and hanging out in the bathroom seems like a bad idea. So does going to the Farmer’s Market, cleaning, or expending any energy at all.

But you could go to the movies? It’s cool there and it is a 3 day weekend and you can’t do anything else anyway…
